Summary:

London Business School professor, Julian Birkinshaw, developed his Four

Dimensions of Management framework and published it in his 2010 book,
"Reinventing Management."
Birkinshaw's Four Dimensions of Management are:
1. Managing Across: Activities.
2. Managing Down: Decisions.
3. Managing Objectives.
4. Managing Individual Motivation.
Each dimension consists of one traditional and one alternative principle.
You can use the framework to develop a management model that best suits the type
of work that you're doing, and the way that you want your organization to develop.
